I Can't Change [Narry]

Chapter Three

N i a l l ' s | P O V

As soon as I had gotten home, I immediately changed into pajamas and settled down in front of the tv with dinner. I was completely starving!

Next time, bring a bigger lunch to work. I reminded myself.

I did the very few dishes that needed to be washed, going to bed straight after. Just as I was about to doze off, I remembered that I was supposed to call Casey! My eyes shot open and I fumbled with my phone in the dark until I got a firm grip on it.

Maybe I'll just send her a text, she'd understand how tired I am, and that's what I did.

To: Casey <3

First day of work was great! I'll call tomorrow, I'm really tired right now :/ miss you! xoxo

Satisfied with my text I sent it, not waiting for a reply before I quickly dozed off.

I burst through the doors of my office, drawing a lot of attention to myself. I woke up 20 minutes late! It was now 7:30 in the morning. Surely I'd receive a scolding! I rushed to my desk, logging into my computer and drumming my fingers anxiously, a bad habit of mine.

Does Tom know I'm late? What will he do? What will he say? It's only my second day, surely this is not reflecting well as one of my first impressions.

"Niall!"

I was jolted out of my worried thoughts as I felt a crumpled piece of paper smack my head. It came from my right.

Harry.

"Aye, what was that for?" I exclaimed angrily, rubbing my head and spinning my chair to face him. An annoyed expression was displayed on his face, yet his lips told a different story. They were turned into a teasing smirk, yet his eyebrows were furrowed angrily. He clicked a pen that sat previously idle in his hands a few times before dropping it.

"Your annoying me," he said bluntly.

"Well I apologize but I'm stressed out right now. I came in a whole thirty minutes late, thirty minutes! Now, what might that do to my reputation here? It's only my second day Harry! I can't believe I was so foolish-"

"Niall, calm the fuck down," he watched me intently, his expression now turning amused. How dare he speak such a foul word at work?

"Ugh, Harry-" I didn't have any smart words come to mind as I ran my fingers roughly through my own hair.

"You gotta relax," he leaned back, emphasizing on his words by kicking his feet up onto the keyboard of his computer. Microsoft Word was currently open on his screen and random letters started to be written, taking up the virtual sheets of paper very quickly.

"Harry!" I shouted in a hushed tone. "Get your feet off of your keyboard, your going to break it!" I proceeded to stand up and picked his feet up, gingerly setting them on the floor. I returned to my seat, sitting down dramatically. Harry chuckled, sliding his chair over to my desk and started to press random keys on my computer, opening many confusing tabs.

"Harry! Stop it!" I whined, slapping his hands forcefully in hope of getting his to leave my computer alone. Error noises started to come from the computer, causing me to frantically stare at the screen.

"You froze my computer! Harry I'm going to kill you!"

"Calm down Mr.Worrywart. It will fix itself in a minute or two, they always do," he giggled as he got back to his own work.

How could he tell me to calm down? My computer was practically broken! What if all the work I've done on it got deleted? I may not have done much work but still! I was completely furious with him, I'll get payback somehow!
